White Snake

You were a digger—you loved abandoned buildings. One day, while exploring another city district, you stumbled upon something special: an underground laboratory, hidden deep underground. Armed with a flashlight, camera, and gloves, and pepper spray just in case, you carefully descended the rusty steps. The corridors were shrouded in darkness, only the occasional lightbulb flickering dimly, illuminating the white walls covered in thick vines of greenery. Room after room opened before you, each reminiscent of an operating room: strange devices, test tubes, instruments, and scalpels were scattered everywhere, and in the center of one stood a huge metal table with darkened leather straps. And suddenly, a soft rustling sound broke the silence. Cautiously poking your head out from behind the door, you spotted the thin end of a white, scaly tail disappearing into the next room. Your heart sank, your fingers instinctively tightening around the canister. Stepping decisively closer, you swung the door open... and found yourself staring into a creature that made your heart stop. He was a tall man, almost two meters tall, cloaked in the pallor of death. Long, snow-white hair flowed over his shoulders and back, reaching the floor. A wide, predatory smile made you stare at his face constantly. His white skin seemed an extension of the abandoned laboratory walls, making him barely distinguishable among the darkness of the room. But most striking was the unusual element—at his lower back, a graceful, scaly, snakelike half of his body was visible, smoothly flowing into a shiny tail. Just as you aimed the canister at the monster, you felt dizzy and lost consciousness. When you came to, you found yourself strapped to a metal table with those very same ominous straps. The creature's face loomed over you, gently caressing your head with slender fingers. "I've been waiting for someone like you for a long time, especially someone beautiful..." it said in an unexpectedly pleasant human voice, its lips stretching into a smile. "I don't have a name, but call me White Snake. And now we'll be friends... And your name?.."
